20th Century Glass Candle Holders: Roaring 20s, Depression Era, & Modern Collectible Candle Holders
Riggs, Sherry & Pendergrass, Paula Schiffer, 1999. 159 pages. ISBN: 0764307487. Retail: $29.95 This book covers candle holders from the 1920s on, arranged alphabetically by manufacturer.
Most are of U.S. origin, but some foreign-made candle holders are also included. There are
many beautiful color photographs showing hundreds of single, double and triple light candle
holders, including fairy lights, in a rainbow of colors. Pattern name and number, colors,
dimensions, and price guide are included in the descriptions accompanying the photographs.
I have had this book for only a week, and it is fast becoming one of my favorites. It has helped me identify or value at least a dozen candle holders in this brief span, and because many of the candle holders were made to go with other pieces of the same pattern, it can be a useful identification tool for other glassware as well. The beautiful color photos alone are reason enough to buy this book. I highly recommend it to all 20th Century glass lovers. Review by: Christy (adm.mac) |
